API to execute and export Box report or notification services to receive alarts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
We would like to better monitor and manage the number of chargeable API calls, but without relying on manual checks via the Insights dashboard or executing and reviewing the Platform Activity Report (PAR). Instead, we seek a more automated and efficient solution.
Specifically, we request that Box either:
Provide a public API to retrieve relevant usage reports, or
Enhance the existing reporting functionality to allow administrators or designated users to receive alerts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
This would help ensure appropriate and proactive API usage management.

Generating/Copying-to-clipboard multiple shared links at once through file explorer
Egnyte, one of Box's competitors, gives users the ability to select multiple documents in file explorer to then generate their respective shared links all at once. These links (and the document titles) are then copied to the clipboard and can thus be easily distributed.

Support Document Tabs in Google Docs.
I am a heavy user of Document Tabs [1] to help with my productivity and organization when using Google Docs.
However, if I create a Google Doc from Box or if I save my Google Doc from Google Drive into Box, the document tabs that I use are removed and the document tab feature is disabled. Because I don't have this feature, I am avoiding the creation of my Google Docs and storing my Google Docs in Box because it is causing a major disruption to my productivity.

Box Relay
Box Relay needs to be able to create a work flow for a parent folder and have it work for all child folders. A user is setting up a simple notification (upload, download) and then sends a notification to a set of users with a message. The user currently has to replicate or create a new Relay for each child folder. Very, very silly to have to waist so much time.

Bulk Extract Metadata in WebApp
Currently, it is only possible to use AI metadata extract on single files in a Box App. We would like to be able to extract metadata from multiple selected files instead of only one.

Use file level metadata to generate a document using doc gen and relay
Currently we can use metadata applied to a folder to populate a document using relay and doc gen. It would be much more helpful to use metadata from a file to build the document. In our use of metadata, rarely will two documents in the same folder have the same metadata throughout the entire template.

Request for API Access to Collaboration and Folder/File Reports for Admin
Hi Box team,
Ref case #3373797 and our recent conversation, we want to retrieve all collaboration data via the API instead of manually generating reports from the Admin Console. We understand report generation currently requires a manual trigger and no API exists for this.
The two main reports we’re interested in are:
- Collaborations
- Folders & FilesIs there any way to access these reports via API now or planned soon? If not, could you suggest any alternative for programmatic access?

Mark documents for admin to delete
For users that do not have admin contorl and do not have the ability to delete files themsleves, should instead have the ability to mark a document for deletion. It should send a notificaiton to the admin that they can click on and be taken right to the document that needs to be deleted.
As of right now I have to email my admin to delete unwanted files.

Subject: Connecting the Box AI Agent to File Hubs
I can select all the authorized Box AI Agents on almost any File Hub on Box.
However, since Box AI Agents are often created for specific purposes, I would like them to be preset only in specific folders and File Hubs.3 votes -
Increase collaboration invitation limit for Hubs beyond 500
Hubs owners/coowners can only invite 500 individual collaborators to a Hub. This poses a challenge for customers who have restrictive external collaboration settings that prevent the creation of public shared links, and need to provide access to external users via invitations to collaborate on files/folders. This limit needs to be increased (or eliminated) to support large enterprises with more restrictive security settings. Leveraging Groups is not a good alternative for users who primarily intend to use Hubs for external collaboration.

Streamline process for inviting free users to Hubs
If a customer has restricted users' ability to create public shared links, they can only invite external users to Hubs if they already have a Box account. It would be ideal if this process worked the same way as it does if you invite an external user to a file/folder, where they are prompted to create a Box account (free or otherwise) and can then view the Hub. This adds friction into the process for users that are leveraging Box for external collaboration.

When specifying the folder where an event occurs in a Box Relay workflow, search by folder ID or folder name
I want to search by folder ID when selecting a folder where events occur in the Box Relay workflow
This is because there may be folders with the same name.
When specifying folders in the user activity report, we can search by "folder name" or "folder ID".
For improved usability, BoxRelay workflow should be made to match the same specifications as reports.■Japanese
BoxRelayのワークフローでイベントが発生するフォルダを選ぶときにフォルダIDで検索したいです。
何故ならフォルダには同名のものがある可能性があるからです。
ユーザーアクティビティレポートでフォルダを指定する際、「フォルダ名」または「フォルダID」で検索することができます。
利便性向上のためBoxRelayのワークフローも同じ仕様にするべきです。3 votes -
duplicate form
It would be great if we could have the ability to duplicate a form and then edit. We have quite a bit of repeated information that we need to collect via different forms, it would greatly help to be able to duplicate an existing and then edit to suit.

Document Summarization via Mind Map and Audio
I’d like to suggest adding an option to summarize documents in the Box hub using a mind map format and audio, similar to what platforms like NotebookLM offer.

AI Agent Suggested Prompts Need Additional Detail Capability
The ability to define the suggested prompts is very helpful. However, as we build very targeted agents we find the prompts, not custom instructions, need to be more detailed, which makes them long. It would be very helpful to customize the suggested prompt button with a short descriptions but have the actual prompt input in a separate text box and hidden from end-users. The hidden, long, prompt would run when the visible prompt is selected.
Something like this would be a big win for us. Please let me know if this is not clear.

AI Agents iOS and Android Suggested Prompts
When using an AI Agent in the box app on an iOS or Android device, the custom prompts do not display as an option. The custom prompts are a big reason Box Agents are so helpful to us. Not having that functionality on phones and tablets minimizes the usefulness of the tools significantly.

See folder structure
Display the folder structure in BoxDrive instead of presenting isolated folders without context.
For example, if the folder structure is:
X
|- Y
|- Zand our access is limited to folder Z, it would be much more intuitive for the interface to display folder X as the main folder, with only folder Z visible inside it.
This would help provide greater clarity regarding the folder hierarchy and enhance the user experience by offering context rather than showing only folder Z in isolation.9 votes -
Hide contributors on Box Hubs
Customers need the ability to hide who their published Hubs are shared with. They are sharing information with multiple customers who may be competitors of one another, and want to prevent them from seeing who else is accessing the information.
